Brighten Your Outdoor Scene* Now that Santa Claus has come , to town, it's time to start design- J ing and planning the colorful out;- « door lighting for the home that ^ will shine forth to say Merry ^ Christmas to everyone. tjj The sooner householders start ;jv work on their own interpretations [ of this gay Yuletide tradition, the 1 better can be the effects that will -4 be achieved. Jp An exceptional demand for the • comparatively inexpensive electrical wiring gadgets and colored • lights that will be needed, is expected this year. •Annual investment of American . home folk in observing this brilliant tradition is now estimated by Joseph H. Ward, executive vice* president of Noma Electric Corp., as being in excess, of $80,000,OOfc which is a tribute to America? Christmas spirit: Much of the equipment required is carried over from year to year, which means that the tradition is growing apace. While lighting of. public buildings and downtown areas would appear to predominate in some cities home lighting is most popular of all as far as the national picture is concerned.. It is not the expense but the inventivehess and artistry of a fam- ' ily that produces the most effective outdoor Christmas time home lighting. Taking into consideration the physical lines of the house and the trees and shrubbery, in the front yard, give householders a starting point for their lighting. Doorways and windows offer excellent patterns to be outlined in colored lights. w A good trick is to^entwine holly or pine branches with strings of light and then place them along the eaves. Lights in flower boxes twinkle merrily. Flood lights, sometime with color screen, sometimes without, will lend lustre to the plan. Experts suggest some precautions for safety's sake in all weather. Never use strings of lights wi|® worn i n s u l a t i o n . Be s u r e youT l i g h t s are d e s i g n e d f o r o u t d o o r use. Always arrange lights before you plug the string into a socket. When putting up or taking down strings, remove lights first, to avoid breakage and waste. Though lights are of low wattage never put too many on one circuit. Many communities throughout . the country have local Christmas lighting competitions. In some if stances there are competitions between cities. Usually Christmae lighting contests are sponsored by the Junior Chamber of Commerce. TAKE ADVANTAGE OF STRUCTURAL FEATURES of your home to plan outdoor Christmas lighting and find a place for the Star of Bethlehem as did the folks in this house.
